Dyann Head Lashbrook, 81, of Owensboro, passed away April 9, 2021, surrounded by her family. She was born July 19, 1939, in Daviess County to the late Henry Sr. and Alice Unsel Head. Dyann served as a social worker for 25 years and was a member at Thruston United Methodist Church. She was a great cook, her specialty being cupcakes. She and her sisters baked and decorated all of the family wedding cakes. Dyann had a love for softball, she played until she was 55 and coached for many years. She was a natural born caretaker; caring for her family by being the best mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt they could imagine. Dyann’s favorite title was “Mamaw Lashbrook,” which she was given by her beloved grandchildren. She loved watching her grandchildren’s ballgames especially. Dyann will be remembered for always being able to put a smile on someone’s face with her fun-loving nature and will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
She was preceded in death by her husband, William Tyler Lashbrook Sr.; her sister, Debra Lynn Taliaferro; and her brother, Johnny D. Head.
Those left to perfect her cupcake recipe are her children, Jeff Lashbrook (Terri), William Tyler “Ty” Lashbrook Jr. (Linda), and Dayna Robbins (Roger); her grandchildren, William Tyler Lashbrook III, Brook Robbins, Taylor Lashbrook, and Samantha Robbins; her siblings, Donna McDaniel, Derror Head (Jane), Dane Zoglmann, Dalynda Welborn, and Henry Head Jr.; and her brother-in-law, Mike Taliaferro.
